wedding Vendor tipping guide
With so many wedding expenses, gratuities can add up, and it's easy to lose track of what's expected. Here's when, how and what to tip each of your wedding pros. Traditionally, business owners of larger companies don't get tipped—just their employees—but you can and should tip an owner when the service exceeds expectations. Small business owners should never be overlooked either, since their businesses are often run by just one person. Tip vendors who offer exceptional service, write thank-you notes (they're always appreciated) and assign the responsibility of handing them out to a trusted person, such as your wedding planner, a parent or wedding party member. Here's a helpful breakdown of what's customary for tipping each vendor. WEDDING HAIR STYLIST & MAKEUP ARTIST This is one area where gratuity is definitely expected. Tip between 15 to 25 percent just as you would in a hair salon, and consider giving a little extra if there's a crisis, like one of your bridesmaids has a meltdown over her curls and it requires a redo at the last minute. Protocol: Expected The Standard: 15%-25%, depending upon the quality of service When to Tip: Tip your beauty stylists at the end of your service. WEDDING CEREMONY OFFICIANT If your officiant is affiliated with a church or synagogue, you're often expected to make a donation to that institution. If you're a member, you'll probably want to give a larger amount than if you're not. However, if you're getting married there and they're charging you to use the space, feel free to give a smaller amount. Tipping the officiant, both non denominational and denominational, is also appreciated. Protocol: Expected (depending on officiant) The Standard: Donate $100–$500 to the church or synagogue, and for the officiant, an optional tip of $50-$100 When to Tip: Most ceremony fees are required prior to the wedding. Otherwise, have a responsible attendant pass the cash envelope at the rehearsal dinner if the officiant is in attendance. WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER OR VIDEOGRAPHER You're not expected to give your shutterbugs any money beyond their normal fees. But if the wedding photographer or videographer doesn't own the studio, consider tipping each person. Protocol: Optional The Standard: $50–$200 per vendor When to Tip: Tip your photographer and videographer at the end of the reception. DJ OR RECEPTION BAND Whether you hire a 12-piece swing band or a single DJ, tipping musicians is completely optional, depending on the quality of the job and how willing they were to follow your ideal playlist. And don't forget about any sound technicians they bring with them. Protocol: Optional, yet preferred The Standard: $20–$25 per musician; $50–$150 for DJs When to Tip: An attendant should tip the musicians or DJ at the end of the reception. WEDDING RECEPTION STAFF This group includes the on-site coordinator, banquet manager and banquet staff. Protocol: Expected The Standard: $20-$50 per server When to Tip: If it's covered in the contract, the final bill is typically due before the reception. Otherwise, have one of your parents or an attendant hand the envelope to the banquet manager at the end of the reception.
